Using the Product in a CICS Environment › Summary Statistics Panels

Summary Statistics Panels

The following panels are examples of CICS summary statistics panels.

All the summary statistics panels show the following information:

• when the statistics were requested
• the last time the statistics counters were reset

  Reset of requested statistics occurs when

  • CICS starts
  • A COLLECT STATISTICS or PERFORM STATISTICS was issued with a RESET parameter
  • The expiry of a statistics interval occurs, such as at CICS midnight

  You should always check the reset time to establish the validity of the summary statistics for the desired analysis period. Note that not all statistics are reset to zero when a reset occurs. Refer to the CICS Performance Guide for the reset characteristics of individual statistics fields.

  Transactions do not reset any statistics counters.

The Help panels provide a description of each statistic. Refer to the CICS Performance Guide for more detailed information.

If the COLLECT_TRANSACTION has not been run, or if this feature has been turned off (see the Installation Guide), all Summary Statistics displays will show
NO DATA.
